Nerdapalooza Day 2

Alright, so after chillin with peeps Saturday night I was crazy tired, hardly any energy left but still going, feeding off the awesome that was permeating the concert hall.

Here we go.

Open Mic

There were some really great rappers that stepped up, Loki with a cameo by Schaffer the Darklord, lucky bastard. And MC Coolwhip with his diss to Helen Keller...

mCRT

Definately not for the easily offended. Easily the raunchiest nerdcore artist at the show, and possibly in the community. There is something unnerving about hearing the term "pink sock" before its drinkin time...

Emergency Pizza Party

They said it couldnt be done, they said it shouldnt be done, but EPP proved them wrong. You CAN somehow rhyme about pizza and Capt Planet in the same song...well still maybe you shouldnt but it was hella catchy.

The Great Luke Ski

Umm...I was eating breakfast. Im sorry Luke :(

Dual Core

Holy shite! If you want to know where the scene is headed, or maybe where it should be heading, check out int80. In my opinion, with his rhymes and no deviation from the subject matter, the purest form of nerdcore I have ever heard. This was probably also the most EPIC act because of this:




int80, remy, MC Lars, MC Frontalot, Beefy, YTCracker and Schaffer the Darklord. One stage, one song, 5 of the most awesome minutes in nerdcore history.

The House of Black

Wizard rock, interesting concept, didnt stay for this one as I was dying of thirst and needed to rest after staring into the face of awesome.

ZeaLous1

When he isnt busting out a sick free style he is rocking your face with songs about first person shooters and pwning your ass every chance he gets. His newest album is definately worth checking out.

Uncle Monsterface

I didnt really know what to say when this band came on. They have people in costumes, cool. They have sock puppets, cool. Their first song was about a battle between Mashed Potatoes and Vampires...lol wut?

The Grammar Club

This was something a lot of people were waiting for, they had been practicing each morning since this was the first time everyone in the group would be playing together irl. You had beefy, laying down fast smooth rhymes and Shael Riley, without a doubt one of the best lyricists in the nerdcore genre. This show was plagued with sound problems, from mic feedback to the drums being unusable.

It was still a great first show for nerdcores first Super Group.

Schaffer the Darklord

Here we go, the main event (at least in my eyes). Schaffer is a rapper from NYC, he is evil, he drinks baby tears to sustain himself, he can throw down enough beer to kill an elephant and doesnt breath.

Im just playing, he does in fact breath, I just dont know when. His rhymes do not stop, he does not stop. He and his black box of doom take the crowd to a new level of energy and dont let them back down until he is damn good and ready.

With songs ranging from Fonts battling killing each other deciding who is the best to the ultra offensive to some Night of the Living Christ he has to be the greatest showman of the nerdcore genre, easily the best ive seen.



Unfortunately I was not able to stay long enough to see The Protomen, had a long drive ahead of me and little sleep as is. mc chris was the main headliner for the night and the closer for the entire event...

There were some people that said he didnt belong, he has blasted nerdcore repeatedly and said that everyone was just riding his coattails, well look. He sell tickets, it was all for charity so no one can really complain. And if Frontalot is cool with it them im cool with it.
